Dover Publications The ones I am starting on are Dover Publications models (10 buildings will cost you about $7....I don't think you can beat that). In the Walthers Catalog it is part # 241-23736, a series of old west buildings. They also make a village, farm, several vicrotrian and sea front...

Woodie I am working on some cardstock builidings, if you find a good weathering system will you post some pics of the results?

pumpkins My wife is partial to the candy pumpkins (and they have to be Brach's). Candy corn, Candy pumpkins, it's all sugar to me...Yummy!:D

thanksgiving I think we postpone thanksgiving until November because it just gets so darn boring in the winter :D ...I wasn't aware that Canada celebrated Thanksgiving. I think Halloween is a morbid and somewhat paganistic holiday, but I do enjoy it (well, before I married a Jehoviah's Witness...

IHC Premeir IHC has their premiere steam priced between $40 and $70, and I think they make smoke units as well as the non-smoke. I don't know the price to expect on that though.

fire-retardent Foam board is treated to be fire retardent and will usually not burn completely, but that doesn't mean it won't burn enough to spread a fire. It shouldn't, however, need to be treated to make it safe, as long as it isn't next to open flames and live sparks. As others have...

your welcome Jimmy, Your welcome. Hopefully by next summer I can afford to travel down there and take a ride on one of them. If so I will have some first hand pics to post...

Located in Chama NM, this remnant from the past has up to 5 operational Steam Narrow Guage engines that run all-day ecscursions for $60/person. The trip is from Chama, New Mexico to Antonito, Colorado. This trackage was (I beleive) originally Denver and Rio Grande RR trackage, that is now...

likewise I was just thinking the same thing...

Not long... Got a lionel O-gauge steam when I was about 9, and an HO diesel setup at a garage sale for $5 when I was about 14, then it got garaged at about 16 when work and girls got in the way...not many girls, mostly just work (guess that makes me a nerd...and a computer programmer too, man I...

I have always liked the look of railroads modeled in foreign countries and the selection of german buildings and models is amazing but the cost is high...anyway, I was looking through my Walthers catalog and decided to peak at the military section for the fun of it and there was a diarama of a...

very, very sad Out of the ruins of the towers soars Human Spirit. America and her people, and her friends will triumph. People pull together and even those outside of our country are pooling their resources and offering up their compassion. For decades the people that perpetrated this act...

It there...sort of My webpage is there...well sort of...a lot of the pics and info I haven't had a chance to post. And something happened to some of it that I had updated...oh well, not a whole lot of work to replace it. Anyway, here is the link (sorry, the TRAINS link is the least updated so...

thanks Thanks guys

Trying to understand what an easement is...is it coming into a turn hard and then easing out of it (the curve gets more gradual the longer it is) or is it like banking on a roadway to counter centrifical force on turns by putting one rail higher than the other? (Also been working on my...

our sympathy As he lives in the NY area he may know some of those souls lost to us today. My sympathies to all those lost and afflicted with losses. It is a really sad deal.

sorry, disregard Sorry, just found the help for posting images, thanks anyway.

power-loc Hello Woodie, Life-like's Power-loc track is like Atlas EZ track...the rail has plastic roadbed built right into it, and the rails usually don't even touch...the connection is made by metal tabs in the roadbed, so that you don't see many shorts (I have a crossing that is my only...

Using Power-loc I don't have a layout yet, I am running power-loc track and minimal scenery and structures. But in looking to purchase track supplies, I don't see manual switches advertised anywhere. I just purchased the Walthers catalog, so there is a good chance I can find some in there. I...

power-loc Hi, I am using power-loc track as well, and I have good luck with it (but wouldn't model a large layout in it becuase there simply isn't any variety). Anyway, it is fairly good, except for the switches, they derail from time to time. The stuff is literally too expensive to buy new...
